I disagree. I think it looks pretty cool. Youthful and maybe a bit immature but not bad IMO.

Ok you win.

:drool:

Don't know if you're ready to purchase or not, but one of the Atlanta forum members has his basically new Works listed for sale: [For Sale] For Sale: Work Meister CR01 15x9 +20 4x100 Custom Order.

BlackBandit 03-28-2014 04:53 PM

Thank you for the compliments. As for the flares, they will be threaded in the body and the hardware will be anodized black to keep it clean with the body. No chrome hardware.

He is they guy. He's very helpful with this purchase and very patient. I hope he can work with me.

The seller sold the wheels to his roomate. I was giving him a 600 dollar deposit and in two weeks the rest of his payment for the following pay period. After he agreed to it he sold me out . It's hard to find people whose word actually means something nowadays

Eh, if his roommate was paying the amount in full at that moment it's hard to blame him. Sucks, but he's got to live with the guy.

Stop doing the look I wanna do before I have the means to do it! LOL

Looks great.

So my Mishmoto electric fan took a cap on me and smoked up. The ac fan not the engine fan. I'm not replacing them with mishimotos lifetime warranty. If they fail on 4 years time I'm not back. Time to upgrade both fans.

Just installed the spal fans. This is what they sound like


Spal Fans 99 Miata:


I had to drill new holes for the spal fans to fit on the mishimoto fan shroud. They are a bit smaller.

concealer404 04-18-2014 05:32 PM

Hahahah those fans are fun. I thought the Mishis were loud on our MSM.

Installed the FM Stage 1 kit with the SPAL fans and holy fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

BlackBandit 04-18-2014 09:43 PM

They sound pretty loud. I can't wait to see my temp gauge to see how much of a difference the two are.
I've used also water wetter in past vehicles and have seen a difference in temps. Has anyone else used the additive?
